What do you think helped you to survive?
I was young and healthy and full of life. I was together with my sister the whole time. G-d was with me, G-d helped me to survive. I was in Auschwitz, Ravensbrück (ammunition factory), Malho (bullet factory). My mother died at Ravensbrück two months before the war ended. We had so very little food; I don’t know how we survived. I’ve often asked myself, what was the purpose of my surviving? To have my grandsons, Jason and Gabriel.
